Inktomi love him.

well you obviously know more than we do because you have experience with this sort of thing but it seems to me they ( yahoo ) are sort of stiffing the program owner..
Correct me if i am wrong here, without this service ravenriley got all the hits from yahoo free of charge and now they have to pay an affiliate a cut to be listed even though they bought a directory listing ? That doesnt seem very fair to the program owner.. Its not going to increase sales , it will just decrease profit.. I could see "including" listings , but it seems rather unfair to add an affiliate code to the highest bidder.. because they basically removed ravenrileys PAID listing in the yahoo directory ( these hits they pay $0 for )
p.s. ( i'm in no way blaming wildline , as they seem to have just gotten in when the getting was good ) seems there isn't much competition either, almost every paysite yahoo click is bought by wildline
